Sold Out – “Cake by the Ocean,” the debut single from L.A.-based four-piece DNCE, came to life thanks to some brilliant use of serendipity. “We were at the studio, and I overheard the producers saying that they wanted to get cake by the ocean,” recalls the band’s frontman Joe Jonas. Once he realized that his Swedish collaborators Mattman & Robin had misspoken the name of a tropical cocktail — what they were really after was Sex on the Beach — Jonas began crafting a new song around the cake-by-the-ocean concept. The result: a silky, swaggering piece of groove-heavy pop built on disco-jangly riffs but saturated with plenty of pure emotion and undeniable soul. “That song was a total breakthrough,” Jonas says. “Once we came up with ‘Cake by the Ocean,’ everything was electric.”
